UYNIMFORM DRESS Filed March 51, 1932 Patented Oct. 25, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE OSCAR A. BEBMANQOF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, ASSIGNOR '10 MORRIS & COMPANY, INC., 0]? BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, A CORPORATION OF MARYLAND UNIFORM DRESS Application filed March 31, 1932. Serial No. 602,294.

My invention relates to an improvement in nurses uniform dresses of the wraparound style; and the objects of my improvement are: (1% to provide a uniform that will fit any gure; (2) to provide means by which a uniform can be made adjustable to fit women with large or small busts, large or small waists, or large or small hips, by simply drawing toward each other the ends of a belt permanently attached to the body of the garment; and (3) to provide a meansby which the uniform can be held permanently at the adjustment necessary for the figure on which it is worn.

I obtain these objects by mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which-Figure 1 is a front View of the uniform showing its first position when it is put on like a coat; Figure 2, a front view of the uniform as it appears after the belt attached to the left side has been run through the slit in the right side of the garment and the right front of the garment has been lapped over to the left side; Figure 3, a back view of the garment showing how the belt is brought behind the back, preparatory to running it through the slit in the other side of the belt; Figure 4, a front view of the uniform after the belt has been passed through a slide and held permanently by buttons and button holes provided for that purpose; Figure 5, a front view of the uniform with the neck closed and the collar turned u to form a military style without necessitatlng any further adjustment in any other part of the garment; Figure 6, a perspective view of the belts showing how the ends of the belts are passed through the slide; Figure 7 a cross section of the uniform at the waist line showing how the belts pass through the slits and continue around the body.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts through the several views.

The body of the uniform 1, its attached belts 2 and 3, secured to the body of the garment, constitute the basis of the uniform. The belt 3, attached to the left side of the garment, passes through the slit 4 on the right side and the belt 2, attached to the right side vof the uniform, is brought around the tion of said garment being disposed in overback and through the slit 5 in the belt 3 and both ends of the belts 2 and 3 are brought throu h the slide 6 and held permanently in the adjusted position by buttons 7 and 8. Buttons 7 and 8 are of the detachable shank variety, being permanently fastened through one or more eyelets 11 provided in the underside of the belt, and provide the means for holding the belt permanently in place by being passed through the button holes 9 and 10 at each end of the belt. Any number of eyelets can be supplied in the ready-made garment to provide for ermanent setting of the buttons at points w ere it is necessary to make adjustments to fit ordinary variations in the size of waists of the wearers, but if a still greater adjustment is necessary, either to fit a larger or a smaller waist, additionalholes can be punched in the belt in order to move the detachable buttons as close to the slide or as far away from-it as may be necessary to secure a proper adjustment for either an extraordinarily small waist or an extraordinarily large waist.

A garment openat its front and comprising a skirt and coat united thereto at the waist, belt sections extending from opposite sides of the garment at the waist, one side porlapping relation to the other'side portion to close the garment at the front when worn and the belt section carried by the over lapped side section passed outwardly throu h a slit formed in the waist portion of t e garment at the rear of the garment, the belt section carried by the overlapping side portion of the garment being extended rearwardly about the waist and passed through a slit formed in the first mentioned belt section near the first slit when worn and both belt sections extended forwardly in opposite directions about the waist and releasably secured.
